Katt Williams: Woke Foke

I was looking forward to this after all the hype, and hoped it would be raw, honest comedy, without the constant need to self-censor so as not to offend our ever more fragile society, but this was so boring I couldn't even stay focused. I truly enjoyed his viral online interview, and as much as he talked about how clever he is, I was expecting to have a grand time. Dave Chapell and Ricky Gervais both managed to have me nodding my head and laughing, but not this drivel.

There was no humor here at all, and not even any new or interesting social commentary. Just a man on stage talking to hear himself talk. I lasted maybe 20 minutes.

Several years ago, I used to laugh and enjoy Katt Williams' comedy. The last two specials have been particularly unfunny for me. Not a smile crossed my face the entire time. I actually felt like I was talking with and trying to get away from the office gossip/conspiracy theorist! I just wanted to get away! Not funny, and cringe worthy. Blind football should have been sad, but he made fun of it. I get the point of his comments, but if you are going to do it... it HAS to be funny. It really wasn't. Two specials in a row for me, and this is my last attempt to watch Katt. It was that bad. Fond memories of previous years past, but today's Katt is sad and not at all funny. Preachy and just weird subject matter throughout. Was just a weird commentary about "facts" (again) and the "truth" (again). He didn't fall on his stool after every single punchline like last time, so that was an improvement. Let's face it: The entire comedy special was more like an uncomfortable conversation with someone you get the feeling you don't really like and want to get away from the entire time. I just wish I had pressed STOP or maybe even not PLAY at the very start. There came a time that Jerry Lewis was not on my play list... that time is now for Katt.

Katt Williams has been one of my favorite comedians since I was a teenager. This was not funny at all. I didn't laugh once and he has become a race baiter. He makes everything about race. He used to at least laugh about all races not he just goes against one. While he sits in his mansion not knowing a thing about racism. What a joke this was! Netflix should be ashamed too. Just because of who he is. It isn't good. I was very disappointed and upset how he made me feel watching it because of his racial division. Enough is enough and it's getting quite old. Come up with some new material if you have any that doesn't involve stating false information that isn't even true.

I love Katt Williams, and his material in this one is entertaining, but unfortunately, it's just not funny. It's not offensive or anything. It's just like watching someone speak for an hour. It's an entertaining talk from a motivational speaker, but again... It's just not laughable material.

Maybe if you're going into this with the expectation that you're going to be watching a motivational speaker, instead of a comedy show, you'll appreciate it more. However, we went into it expecting Katt Williams comedy genius, and it just didn't meet those expectations this time. From a motivational speaker standpoint, this would be a 6 or 7, but from a standup comedy special, it's just a 2. Sorry Katt.

Let me be clear that I hold no grievances against any of the subjects Katt Williams tackled in this special. However, the primary issue lies in its profound absence of humor. Throughout the entirety of the performance, not a single moment elicited genuine laughter from me. It was exceptionally uncomfortable to gather my family around the television, eagerly anticipating uproarious laughter from one of the comedy greats, only to be met with disappointment as it became evident that he had seemingly lost his once-remarkable ability to amuse us. Witnessing such a decline in comedic brilliance is truly disheartening and leaves one longing for the days when his comedic genius effortlessly brought joy and laughter to our lives. Time to hang it up, Katy.
